http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21709 <%= %> does not convert to string before passing arguments to custom tag handlers Summary: <%= %> does not convert to string before passing arguments to custom tag handlers Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.24 Platform: All OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Unknown AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a pretty obscure problem with a workaround, but to the best of my knowledge the error is a violation of the servlet/JSP spec so should be fixed. I have a custom tag called <krm:action> and I am using the JSTL in this example. <c:set var="title"> <c:out value="${row.shortDesc}"/> </c:set> <krm:action display="link" type="componentNum" componentNum="PL-SITE-01" title="<%= pageContext.getAttribute("title") %>"> <c:out value="${row.id}"/> </krm:action> The compiler complains as follows: [ServletException in:/adminPicklist/siteList-body.jsp] Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null Generated servlet error: [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. [javac] Compiling 1 source file [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. [javac] C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 \work\Standalone\localhost\ebspnp\adminPicklist\siteList_0002dbody_jsp.java:140: setTitle(java.lang.String) in com.bah.krm.taglib.util.ActionTag cannot be applied to (java.lang.Object) [javac] _jspx_th_krm_action_0.setTitle( pageContext.getAttribute("title") ); [javac] ^ [javac] 1 error The simple workaround is just do a manual toString() as follows: <c:set var="title"> <c:out value="${row.shortDesc}"/> </c:set> <krm:action display="link" type="componentNum" componentNum="PL-SITE-01" title="<%= pageContext.getAttribute("title").toString() %>"> <c:out value="${row.id}"/> </krm:action> But the toString() call should happen automatically, shouldn't it? Isn't that part of the spec? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
